    Starting Final Mixes Song 7-A Heart Of Thanks

    Not sure if this is ready for prime time. Spent a lot of time on it this week (between other sessions) and I THINK it's close. Anyway, some things on here I never thought I'd do, but this is the concept that came into my head. https://soundcloud.com/broken_h/a-heart-of-thanks

    Starting Final Mixes: Song 12-I Know You Will (Feat. Jimistone & Taras Andrushkiw)

    Starting Final Mixes: Song 12-I Know You Will (Feat. Jimistone & Taras Andrushkiw) Okay, give a listen and tell me what you think. Jimistone and Andrushkiwt on the solos at the end. Honored to work with these guys! https://soundcloud.com/broken_h/i-know-you-will-feat-jimistone-taras-andrushkiw

    How to bring to life my sampled Piano Solo?

    Okay, first off, what you have is not BAD. The sound of your piano is very, very nice! The piece is well written. So if you want my advice, I'll try to help. I've played a lot of nice pianos in my youth. Listen to the differences and tell me what YOU hear. Hicken: I'm hearing a very mellow...

    The Massacre of Bowling Green

    Excellent beginning. Love what you did with the guitars, less harsh and covering both sides. Still sounds killer clean! Kick still might come up a notch. Sounds much more balanced overall. I liked everything about the first mix except the harshness of the acoustic (that I was trying to be very...

    The New Tone Thread

    Okay, this may be out of place, but since this is a Guitar Tone thread, here goes. Left: Right: Solo: Combined: In The Mix: Using my Yamaha FG335 recorded at 9"-12" (yeah I move a bit when I play) with the MXL 2001 pointed at the 12th fret and turned about 10-15º toward the sound hole...

    Colaboration anyone? Song 12: I Know You Will

    Thanks, Johnny! Compliments are always welcome. I added a bit of EQ to both and spring reverb to one/echo to the other, to get them to sound like they are in the same space. Vocals are 12-18 takes depending on where in the song you are, comped to death - sometimes word by word - and then cleaned...

    High “whistling” noise from my guitar/bass amplifiers in my home recording facility

    :thumbs up: at least it's a solution. Even if just temporary. Hey, I still have a temporary crown from 1989...

    Colaboration anyone? Song 12: I Know You Will

    Oh, yeah. I gave the kick an extra 2 dB and added some cymbals and pushed one of them up quite a bit as it wasn't coming through clearly.

    Colaboration anyone? Song 12: I Know You Will

    Taras: I pushed 600 (tight) up a bit and 1440 (a little looser, but still tight) to get closer to the sound I've got on Jimi's...other than that, it's just a spring reverb box. There was a really cool lick at 2:35 that I just had to bring out better, so I grabbed it and punched it...and of...

    Colaboration anyone? Song 12: I Know You Will

    Okay, here we go. First attempt at getting two completely different solo styles recorded in two completely different environments in two completely different ways to sound close. Added some artificial spring reverb to Taras' solo and a bit of stereo echo on Jimistone's. Let me know. I'll save...

    Is the 500 series rack the end of the 19" rack gear?

    IDK, death by lethal Reuben might be an alternative to current capital punishment schemes...especially if the sauerkraut is over compressed.

    High “whistling” noise from my guitar/bass amplifiers in my home recording facility

    Around 2.45kHz with two octaves (4.9 and 9.8). Not GHz, which would be a phone. Lower than I'd expected. Not sure what would even sound in that range as Radio Frequency Interference...there was a device we used to find underground cables that ran a frequency through the line and you could pick...

    Is the 500 series rack the end of the 19" rack gear?

    I've always found that compressing sauerkraut loses a lot of the dynamics of the Reuben...

    The Massacre of Bowling Green

    Very CSNY sounding song. Just need a few more harmonies... Seriously: The crispness of the acoustic kind of leaves the rest of the mix sounding dull-ish...it's not really dull, just sounds that way compared to the sharp, crisp acoustic. Welcome to the MXL revolution. Love mine. It's all I've...

    Studio Monitors

    KRK has some upper end stuff in the $800-1000 a speaker bracket as well. Hey, one of the speakers that I thought deserved a second look when I went through my monitor buying phase was Behri's B2031 Truth whatever. They were very flat on the sweep and had pretty decent low end coverage. I think...

    I was going to say...$1200-1500 is now Genelec/Dynaudio areas. Would be happy to have either...the KH120s we were talking about earlier are under $1500. You could almost afford Gibson Les Paul monitors for that. (anyone heard ANYTHING about those. I've been curious)

    High “whistling” noise from my guitar/bass amplifiers in my home recording facility

    I've got LEDs everywhere in my house, too. No whistles...then again, all I've got for amps is my Vox AC15 and my Yamaha B100 (both have tubes...) My house is around the same time frame ('99) I've got one of those electric fences for my dog, but it doesn't show up. Sometimes certain people's cell...

    High “whistling” noise from my guitar/bass amplifiers in my home recording facility

    Assumption: you have the problem in the amplifiers and in the computers (to a lesser degree) without amplifiers on. (Is that correct?) Whistling would indicate 8k-12k somewhere? can you record a bit of it and run spectrum analysis to find the approximate frequency. Guessing the problem is...

    :laughings: I'm imagining the "this" in that scenario...I still think we're semi-agreeing...which is actually NOT agreeing, but I can see your point, and I'm sure you can see mine. What you are looking for is a cessation of KRK5/LSR305/4"Cube recommendations based on their total unusable nature...
